Got this on Black Friday for $413+ tax CAD. It replaced my 5900X which has been moved to my True nas server. So far the cpu has performed admirably and isn't as hot as my 5900X (go figure). It also under volts better and I think I could do more but I'm just happy its better then the 5900X when it comes to under volting. My 5900X I could only get -8 on all core but with this chip I tried -11 and it worked and has been stable after my first attempt. I Could attempt a more aggressive under volt but I'm considering I changed nothing else with my setup and seem to have done better this time around with the silicon lottery. I would have liked to have done some rendering benchmarks vs the 5900X to see how much faster the 5900XT is vs that chip but it completely slipped my mind before i swapped over the chips. Either way my renders are finishing faster and I haven't noticed a performance regression in games considering the 5900X base clock was 400mhz higher then the 5900XT. Overall great chip that will allow me to stretch out my AM4 platform another 2 years at least. Only thing I'm disappointed with is the naming scheme this chip should be called a 5950 non x just a plain 5950. AMD just did this to confuse its customers and make it seem like a new family of chips.
